It’s been said that today’s youth does not give enough back to their community. Don’t tell that to McNairy Central Senior Bailey-Anna Teague. Teague chose Event Planning as her senior project this year and has worked to plan the Selmer Veteran’s Day Parade Nov. 8 which runs from the McNairy County Court House to the Selmer City Park. The event begins at the Courthouse with a presentation of colors followed by guest speaker George Donaldson, who is a former prisoner of war, and the National Anthem played by the MCHS Band. Teague said that she chose this topic for her project because she wanted to give back to those who have given so much for our freedom. “Come enjoy this free event and show appreciation to the veterans,” Teague said. “We live in the home of the free because of the brave.” Teague said she is also using the event as part of a fundraising project for the Wounded Warrior Project. “I started raising money at the Sportsman’s Banquet for (WWP),” Teague said. “I will also be having an event at the park following the parade with music, food, and games for kids. All of the money raised will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.” Teague said that she has learned a lot about our troops especially our wounded troops who return home while working on the paper portion of her senior project which will focus on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which affects many returning veterans. She said that the topic of the paper is something that interests her and that is close to the profession to which she aspires when she finishes college. “I plan on being a social worker,” Teague said. “So I figured this topic would be something good for me to study.” Teague said that she has learned a lot about event planning working with her mentor for the project Sybil Dancer who is the director of the Selmer Parks and Recreation Department and a seasoned event planner herself. The event begins at 9 a.m. at the courthouse followed by the parade at 10 a.m. and celebration in the park beginning about 10:30 a.m. Teague said that she expected the event at the park to run until about 1 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Teague said that she would like to see a large crowd turn out to support our soldiers for the event. For more information or to sponsor a float in the parade contact Dancer at (731) 645-3866.

KYLE

time Asher was allegedly injured by Kyle was charged on Aug. 4 (at the same time as Kyle) with aggravated child abuse charges in the case. The charges against Kyle and Dilworth were announced during a press conference Aug. 4 with Sheriff Guy Buck and 25th District Attorney Mike Dunavant at the justice complex in Selmer. The charges follow several related child abuse charges against the two adults in the case concerning the four-year-old male child who sustained a head injury while at a residence in Adamsville and under the care of Kyle. The affidavit of complaint against Kyle stated that the child was injured when Kyle allegedly pushed the child into a hard object causing blunt force trauma to the head which caused a closed head injury. “We were called to the (McNairy Regional Hospital) emergency room and met with the staff there and were advised that we were dealing with a four-year-old child who had a significant brain injury and there were signs of possible ongoing child abuse,” Buck said during the press conference. The child was then immediately air lifted to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis. Buck said that because of the child’s injuries his department was not able to conduct an interview with
the child, however, they did speak to the hospital staff who were able to determine the severity of the child’s injuries. He said that after speaking with hospital staff, they interviewed both of the child’s parents at the hospital and made the determination that the father and his girlfriend would be placed in custody. While in custody, Buck said that Kyle and Dilworth gave several interviews with law enforcement officers and he said that his officers worked closely with Le Bonheur staff and also participated in the child’s autopsy on Aug. 2. “At this time, we have met with the district attorney and the decision has been made to charge Ms. Kyle with his death...there will be a first degree murder warrant written today,” Buck said during the Aug. 4 press conference. “We believe we are in good position to make these charges today in what is a significant case involving violence to a minor child that resulted in death,” Dunavant said at the press conference. Both subjects are being held at the McNairy County Jail while they await trial. A conviction on felony class D child abuse in which Dilworth is charged could net 2-4 years in prison. If convicted on her charges, Kyle faces 3-6 years on the aggravated assault charges, a class C felony, 15-25 years on the aggravated child abuse charges, a class A felony and up to life in prison or the death penalty on the firstdegree murder charge.

Mums paint the town PINK
Staff Photo by Christen Coulon
Pink mums displayed in the shape of a Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon can be seen on the Highway 64/45 Bypass in Selmer. The mums were grown by Wildwood Farms in Michie in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and the display itself was sponsored by SMC Recycling in Selmer. Farmer Jim Henry grew the flowers this summer from cuttings he cultivated. Henry then reached out to CB&S Bank to assist him with marketing the flowers for charity. Henry said that he has sold about 600 plants as a way to honor family members who he has lost to breast cancer. Henry said that his sister, Helen Davis, and his wife’s mother, Mary Jane Parsons, died from the disease. Five dollars from each mum that was purchased goes to support the Darryl Worley Cancer Center in Savannah. Henry said he sold out of the pink mums quickly and plans to double the number he grows next year. They are already taking orders for next year. Henry can be contacted at Wildwood Farms at (731) 239-2410.

Adamsville Mayor expects ISO rating to fall By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
Mayor David Leckner said at the Adamsville City Commission meeting last Monday that he expects the town’s Insurance Services Office rating to drop when the new rating is released. “If everything goes like we expect it to, we should see a drop,” Leckner said. Representatives from ISO told City Administrator Steve Simon that the new ratings will likely be released in either December or January. Adamsville’s current ISO rating is 7. ISO ratings arre on a scale of 1 to 10, with the lower meaning better fire protection and likely to result in lower home fire insurance premiums. After the new rating is assigned, homeowners’ premiums will change as their insurance comes up for renewal. The commission approved a $13,456 bid from the Morrisville, N.C. firm of Duncan-Parnell for a GPS system to map water meters and valves, sewer, water and gas
lines that have not already been mapped. The device will record the location of meters, which will then be downloaded into the computer system. This will give the city a total map of the water, sewer and gas system. Duncan-Parnell submitted the only bid. The new system will also be able to GPS graves in the cemetery, according to Simon. The commission voted to auction the old Garan building on Nov. 24 at 1 p.m. Further details of the auction will be worked out at a meeting to be called before the next regular meeting on Nov. 17. The commission approved the pole sign and day care ordinances on second reading. The pole sign ordinance allows on-premise pole signs for schools and churches with the size, design and dimensions to be determined by the Planning Commission. The day care ordinance allows day care centers in the B-1 general business district. Both ordinances now become law with the Mayor’s signature.
The commission approved the new employee health insurance plan with BlueCross BlueShield. Under the new plan, monthly premiums paid by the city will fall about $900 to nearly $18,000. Employees will be responsible for $1,500 of the $3,000 deductible and will have a maximum out of pocket cost of $4,000. The city will pay $1,500 of the deductible. Adamsville resident Danny Smith appeared before the commission to ask for a box culvert in order to prevent his property from being flooded. “I need some help out there,” Smith said. Public Works Director Paul Wallace Plunk said that a six-inch water line would need to be moved and that contractor Jackie Hamm estimated that it would cost $53,000 to put a box culvert in. Head walls and wing walls could be placed on both ends of the existing culvert for $8,000, Plunk said. Simon said that the same problem exists on Adams Street. Plunk said that since Hamm thinks the
head walls and wing walls will work and since they are less expensive, he would try them first. The city has applied for a $165,000 grant that could be used for culverts if the application is successful. Simon said there was a dangerous situation at Adams. “We’ve had holes big enough to swallow cars,” Simon said. “If we’ve got $53,000 there, I can’t find it,” Simon said about the budget. There is also need for a culvert at Tanyard Springs to be replaced, Simon said. A concerned resident of Walnut Street appeared again to update the commission on the continuing speeding problem on that street. He said that speed had declined for the first three weeks since the speed limit had been reduced and a speed meter placed on the street in August but had gone back up. “Please help us out,” the man said. “Thank you for bringing this up. I’m sorry you had to bring it up again to us, but we’ll do better,” Leckner said.

World Finance held its ribbon-cutting ceremony in Selmer last Monday. Present were: Judi Mashburn from the McNairy Regional Alliance, MRA Executive Director Ted Moore, WF District Supervisor Keith Moore, WF Selmer Branch Manager Terri Burnett, WF Customer Service Representative Julie Young, WF Henderson Branch Manager Frankie Seaton, County Mayor Ronnie Brooks, Selmer Mayor John Smith, Kim Morris, Ben Morgan and MRA Director of Chamber Programs Russell Ingle.

The Selmer Branch has been open since June 2, according to Burnett. “Wonderful,” Burnett said when asked how it was going. “We’re just pleased to be down here in Selmer. (It’s a) great community,” she added.
Work continues on an 8,000 square-foot-building on Highway 45 South in Selmer that will house three Selmer businesses that are moving. Deberry Drugs, Edward Jones and Rhonda Hunt’s medical clinic will be moving to the new building in about six months, according to Deberry owner Todd Gean, who also owns Todd’s Discount Drugs in Adamsville. Gean told the Independent Appeal last Monday that ground-breaking ceremonies would be held soon. Gean has owned Deberry since LOVING GOD - LOVING OTHERS 1994. “We’ll have a better building and be able to serve the customers better in the new facility,” Gean said.

County unemployment rate falls sharply By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
The unemployment rate for McNairy County fell 1.2 percentage points, to 8.9 percent in September, according to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. This is the third largest drop over the past five years and the lowest unemployment rate since August 2008. The county’s unemployment rate has fallen 2.5 percentage points over the past year. However, the drop of 130, to 850, in the number of unemployed was entirely due to an identical drop in the labor force, to 9,570. This is the lowest the number of people in the labor force since 1980. The labor force has declined from a peak of 12,490 in Sept. 2007 and has been below 10,000 for the past six months, the first time this has happened since 1977. Alcorn County, Miss., at 6.6 percent unemployment and Chester County, with a 7 percent unemployment rate, had the lowest unemployment of surrounding counties. Hardeman County’s 9.1 percent unemployment rate was the highest in the area. The unemployment rate in Hardin County was 7.9 percent. Alcorn County unemployment figures are from the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. The unemployment rate fell in 94 Tennessee counties
and increased in only one. Tennessee’s unemployment rate was down 0.1 percentage point to 7.3 percent from August. The official national unemployment rate, which only counts people actively seeking employment and parttime employees, decreased 0.2 percentage points in September from the previous month to 5.9 percent. Counting discouraged workers and part-time workers who want to work full-time, the unemployment rate was 11.8 percent, down 1.3 percentage points from a year ago. The average length of a bout of unemployment in September was 31.5 weeks, down from 37.6 weeks a year ago. The average weekly pay for a worker was $848.74 in September, up from $830.07 in September 2013. Local sales tax collections in September were $246,772, up a little over a percent from a year ago. Homes sales were down one in September, to 36, as compared to a year ago, according to RealtyTrac. At nine, Adamsville had the most homes sold. Eight were sold in Bethel Springs, seven in Selmer, four each in Stantonville and Ramer, two in Finger and one each in Guys and Michie. The August median home sales price in the county was $53,821, up 20 percent from Aug. 2013. There were four new foreclosure filings in McNairy County in September, down one from October 2013.
Disaster Preparedness: Are we ready? By Janet Rail Publisher
“Plans are nothing; planning is everything.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower The Local Emergency Preparedness Committee held a tabletop exercise last Thursday placing participants in a simulated situation requiring them to function in a capacity expected of them during a real event. One thing the group wanted to stress to the public is that a severe thunderstorms can cause major damage. The recent storm in Bethel Springs in Jan. 2013 was declared a severe thunderstorm by the National Weather Service. They look at the size of hail and how strong the winds are during a storm. Winds in excess of 57 mph can cause major damage but are often ignored by the public. Emergency response exercises purpose is to promote preparedness by testing policies and plans and by training personnel on different scenarios and responses to a certain set of circumstances. This can pay high dividends when an emergency occurs. Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, Area Coordinator, Mike Caudill lead the group through a scenario where the National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for most of western Tennessee which put the local Emergency Operations Center on a level 2 alert. The weather spotter reported a wall cloud with rotation 10 miles southwest of Ramer and the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning and a very serious situation. Due to weather, all GE employees were advised to come in. A fork lift operator made a sharp turn to miss an employee in his path and struck a container which released hydrofluoric acid. Persons are exposed but manage to get out of the cloud. As the scenario builds there is now heavy rain all over the county and Finger has reported more than 13 inches in the past 36 hours and 9 inches of rain countywide. The county is now under a flash flood warning and a sheriff's deputy reports a large tornado on the ground a mile south of Walmart heading directly toward the high school. During the exercise, emergency personnel share their plans to address the issues presented in the scenario and discuss possible options to assure the safety of residents and structures in the event of a real disaster. A week or two after the exercise, Rudy Moore, director of emergency management, and others review the results of

The center is located on Falcon Street in Selmer at the E911 Office and the event was attended by area emergency personnel ranging from the superintendent of schools to area industry representatives. “A lot of people think a plan has a list of everything to do. Every department from the federal government and state to the local emergency personnel work on a system of emergency support functions or ESF's. Our plans have sixteen functions like transportation, communications, firefighting, human resources, law enforcement, health and medical services, search and rescue, food, shelter and more. Each ESF defines a function that needs to be completed during a disaster and who is going to complete that function. Moore acts as our county coordinator. He must go to each department, responsible group and ask if they can complete a function and how they can get that task done. Each function has a lead agency
and support agencies,” said Caudill. “In addition to this, the area hospital, nursing homes, industries and businesses may also develop their own disaster plans, but if they do not run them through the county coordinator, their plans may not work. Everyone must function together and make sure they do not commit resources in their plans that may fall through if they are already committed to other areas in the event of a disaster.” “Law enforcement and firefighters may be involved in many area functions in the plan and their resources may be limited during a disaster. If a school or hospital commit their resources in their plan without coordination, things may not go as planned. “The hospital is working diligently to be self-sufficient up to 96 hours. We have memorandums of understanding with the National Guard, Tennessee Department of Health and are developing a Hospital Coalition to assure we have additional beds,
supplies to set up alternate care sites in the event of a major disaster,” said Thomas Perkins, McNairy Regional EMS Director. Every five years the state reviews a formal plan submitted by the local emergency management director. McNairy County's plan is due by September 2015. Based on a hazard analysis, the group reviews high risk and high hazard events the county is likely to have in the future. Plans are based on the risks identified like tornados, earthquakes, acts of terrorism, hazardous material situations, etc. For plans to be effective, they must be integrated with all businesses, industries and departments so that everyone is on the same page. Planning, training and exercising are the only feasible recommendations to provide effective response and coordination during any disaster. This is the first of two articles regarding disaster preparedness complete with resources and recommendations for citizens and community leaders across the county.
Vandals, burglars target Selmer businesses By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
Three Selmer eateries and an office were vandalized and burglarized on Oct. 11 or Oct 12, according to incident reports provided by the Selmer Police Department. The Los Palamino and Los Aztecas Mexican restaurants, Pat’s Cafe and Jarrell Stanfield’s office were hit. The $1,700 in cash taken from Los Aztecas appeared to be the only items missing. It all began on Oct. 12 when Sgt. Ted Roberts was dis-

patched to Los Palamino. Upon arrival, he spoke to Brisa Hernandez who told him that sometime during the night someone entered the building by breaking the front window on the southeast corner. She said that neither she nor owner Adolfo Palamino could find anything missing. While Roberts was investigating the Los Palamino break in, he walked out of the rear door, through which the suspect left. He noticed that someone had entered Stanfield’s office, which is behind the restaurant through the window on the northwest corner. Stanfield was contacted and after arriving, could find nothing missing.

Sgt. Ron Pilkington responded to a break in at Los Aztecas restaurant. He noticed that someone entered the building by breaking the rear door glass. Pilkington found that $1,700 in cash had been taken. Ptl. Wes Moore was asked to call Pat Knight, owner of Pat’s Cafe, in reference to a burglary and vandalism that was committed there. Knight told Moore someone had tried to kick the back door of the cafe in over the weekend. Moore then went to the cafe and spoke to Carlotta Murrell, who said she arrived for work about 6:30 a.m. Oct. 13 and noticed the latch on the inside of the back door to the business was bent inward and when she looked at it further, she discovered that someone had unsuccessfully tried to enter the building through force. The outside screen door was propped open as well. Anyone having knowledge of this crime should call the Selmer Police Department at 645-7907.

The history of McNairy County public libraries
Part 2: The Irving Meek Jr. Memorial Library in Adamsville By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
As of 1960, Adamsville had no library. On April 24, 1960, J. D. McConnico, Editor of the Adamsville News, made in impassioned argument for an Adamsville library in his newspaper. By May 8, a library committee had been appointed and Jean Lockhart, the West Tennessee Librarian, promised her assistance. At that time, Mrs. Billy Seaton was president of the Jaycettes and Irving Meek, Jr. was president of the Jaycees. Both were instrumental in bringing a public library to Adamsville. Lockhart and Mary Bates, Assistant Director of the Public Libraries Division in Nashville, met with the Jaycettes library committee on May 19 to discuss the formation of the library and getting Bookmobile service for McNairy County. Lockhart returned on June 2 for a meeting with the Jaycettes and other civic organizations at the Old Home Restaurant. A film from the Jackson Regional Library was shown. On December 9, the News carried an open letter from the Jaycettes outlining the progress that had been made and what still needed to be done. The Public Libraries Division of the Tennessee State Library and Archives was very interested in setting up a demonstration library in McNairy County, with substations in each district. The City of Adamsville agreed to furnish the building and equipment at no cost to the County Court (now the County Commission), which would need to adopt a resolution expressing interest in the demonstration project. The library opened in July 1961 in the Adamsville Municipal Building next to Winningham’s Furniture on Main Street. Jo Price was the first director. Furniture and equipment was donated by civic organizations, businesses and interested citizens. A summer reading program was started in June 1964, in order to get children interested in reading. Some of the participants were Jimmy Robinson, Mary Brooks, Nancy Caperton, Mike Vance, Rose Marie Price, Keenan and Ann Gean, Ted Donaldson, Georganna Seaton, Janice Jordon and Lisa Hall. The theme was “Charlie the Cave Man”. Within four years the library’s space increased by 25 percent, by removing a partition. Circulation had grown from 563 books in January 1962 to 1,220 books in January 1965. That month the library became a West Tennessee Technical Information Center, one of a chain of four in Tennessee. A Friends of the Library group had been

Since having sufficient paid staff was a problem, they volunteered to do such things as reading to the children and conducting tours and creating displays. In August 1978, Price resigned as director and was replaced by Grady Vaughn, who resigned from the library board. Irving Meek, Jr. was reelected chairman of the library board. U. S. Sen. James Sasser donated surplus books from the Library of Congress. In September 1978, the Adamsville City Commissioners and Mayor decided to enlarge the space for the library by extending it to the back entrance formerly occupied by the fire trucks. Work on the addition started in November. The community again donated books and furnishings to fill the new space. In May 1979, circulation was 7,963, with 1,054 card holders. By 1981, the Buford Pusser display, which began in April 1979, was made permanent. The library had 1,737 card holders, 2,800 paperbacks and 5,000 hardback books from the Shiloh Regional Library and 5,200 books of its own. In 1982, Gov. Lamar Alexander and Tennessee First Lady Honey Alexander made a visit to the Adamsville Public Library on Festival Day. In 1983, the Adamsville Public Library was renamed the Irving Meek, Jr. Memo-
rial Library because Meek spent his life encouraging the growth of public libraries in the county. In September 1987, it was announced that Friends of the Library and the First Baptist Church had donated a lot to the City of Adamsville to build a new library. In March 1988 the Buford Pusser display that had been housed at city hall and the library all those years was moved to the the Pusser Home on Pusser Street which had been turned into a museum. In July 1988, Grady Vaughn turned in his resignation to the Library Board and Gerri Seaton was promoted to Head Librarian. On Aug. 28, 1988 a reception was given honoring Grady Vaughn for his 10 years of service as head librarian. The spring of 1989 saw two significant events take place. One was the passing of Grady Vaughn from the bustling scene he loved so much. The other was the announcement that Adamsville had received the grants and loans necessary to start building the new library. Harry Boosey, Mayor of Adamsville, received word in March from Cong. Don Sundquist that the funds were in place. On Aug. 14, 1989, Tennessee Secretary of State Gentry Crowell visited the site of the new Adamsville library for at the corner of Magnolia and Main Streets. His office had been instrumental in administering $135, 000 in grant money for the new
library. The City of Adamsville under the leadership of Mayor Harry Boosey provided $170,000 in General Obligation Bonds and construction was set to begin. By March 19, 1990, the new library opened to the public. It was a 4,000 square foot state of the art building that its planners hoped would serve the needs of the community for many years to come. In June 1990, open house for the new library was held with all due fanfare. On Sept. 12, 1991, the library received a federal grant for $13,000, for literacy support services. Elaine Stone, Assistant Librarian, was the project manager and assisted adult students with the use of computers. This was the first step in the implementation of a program to move the library into the computer age so that it could still be of service to the patrons of the future. Oct. 20 1992, the library made its first attempt at providing computers for public use. They had 3 IBM personal computers, a printer and software for word processing available to patrons on a rental basis for $5 an hour. In September of 1997 the library underwent a change of leadership. Gerri Seaton who had served as library director since 1988 resigned. Health problems dictated that she follow a slower pace. Seaton passed the directorship to Sue Smith which brings the story of the Adamsville Library into the modern era.

Steve Tidwell, born and raised in Adamsville, is an Army veteran with 39 years of experience negotiating and resolving the issues of the people in West Tennessee and Northeast Mississippi. He is running for Adamsville City Commission. Graduating from Adamsville High School, Steve first went to work for Horton and Horton Construction Company in Houston, Texas, on a shell dredge, called the “George F.” He was soon drafted, serving more than a year of his military service in Vietnam. After his Honorable Discharge, He accepted a position with TN Farmers Mutual Insurance Company as a claims representative, while also attending Farm Bureau Tech and Jackson State Community College. He would go on work for 25 years at Dickens and Challen, TIDWELL Inc., an independent adjusting company. Afterwards, he worked for SouthBank as an Account Executive and graduated from Ole Miss School of Banking. Steve has spent 39 years dealing with people who had issues and/or claims, and he negotiated all of them on an individual basis, most of which were concluded without the need for litigation. He is now asking for your vote to elect him to serve as the Adamsville City Commissioner who will apply his negotiation skills in working for the citizens of Adamsville. He understands that good negotiators have the best chance of obtaining the best value and best price for a product. And he sees that the most critical issue facing the citizens of Adamsville is their need for jobs to support themselves and their family. A skilled negotiator is therefore critical, for example, in negotiating good prices on existing buildings and property in the Industrial Park. He also knows tax abatement is just one of the many items offered to potential new business for creating new jobs. Steve is currently self-employed, raising beef cattle. His goal for the city, if he is elected to the commission, is to reduce spending until revenue increases to adequate levels, to spend only on necessary items, and to attract new businesses and expand existing businesses in order to create new jobs. Steve is member of the boards of the Southwest TN Community Development Corporation, the Workforce Investment Board, and the Adamsville/McNairy County Industrial Board.

McNAIRY VOICES What are you doing on Halloween?
Shelley Walker
Tenn. Dept. of Health
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As awareness about Ebola virus disease has increased, so have understandable but often unnecessary fears and rumors. In an effort to reduce anxiety some may have about the disease, the Tennessee Department of Health announced today three new resources for Tennesseans: 1. Tennesseans with questions about the disease may call a toll-free number to obtain accurate, timely information: 1-877-857-2945. This number will be active starting Oct. 22, 2014. 2. TDH is providing additional information about Ebola virus disease on our website, including summaries of weekly activities and adding links to other sources of reliable information: http://health.state.tn.us/Ceds/ebola. htm. 3. Should a confirmed case occur in Tennessee, the department will make a public announcement and post information to the TDH website: http://health.state.tn.us/. “We are glad there is increased awareness about this disease and we especially appreciate the efforts of our health care partners in prevention, detection and response planning,” said TDH Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH. “We all need to have an understanding of where the current risk exists and to make sure our concerns are based on facts and not on rumors.” “If you have not traveled to Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone within the last 21 days and if you have not been exposed to body fluids of a confirmed Ebola virus disease patient, you do not have an appreciable risk for Ebola,” said State Epidemiologist Tim Jones, MD. “This is not an airborne disease, so those most at risk are people who have been in contact with body fluids of a confirmed patient, especially healthcare workers, family members and friends.” With cold and flu season approaching, many people across Tennessee will develop fevers and have nausea which may cause additional concern this year. Health care providers may ask more questions about a patient’s symptoms and travel history, which is part of an effective effort to provide care and to stop the spread of all illnesses. Getting a flu vaccine can eliminate one reason for a trip to the doctor. “Flu represents a clear and present danger and every year too many Tennesseans unnecessarily die from this common illness,” Dreyzehner said. “Some incorrectly regard flu as a really bad cold. It’s not; it can and does kill many every flu season. If you have not had your flu shot or nasal spray yet, we urge you to get it now. It could save your life.” The mission of the Tennessee Department of Health is to protect, promote and improve the health and prosperity of people in Tennessee. TDH has facilities in all 95 counties and provides direct services for more than one in five Tennesseans annually as well as indirect services for everyone in the state, including emergency response to health threats, licensure of health professionals, regulation of health care facilities and inspection of food service establishments.

“ISIS more a scare tactic than real threat” says Coulon By Christen Coulon Editor, Independent Appeal
Hannibal is coming! Legend has it, that Roman parents would tell their children bedtime stories warning of the great and terrible Carthaginian General Hannibal and how he would come and get the children in their sleep if they were not vigilant. But despite his best efforts, Hannibal never offered any serious threat to Rome itself. Eventually, Hannibal died and Rome came up with new boogymen to frighten their people. Before long, Rome too fell and new governments rose to take its place. Soon new boogymen sprang up...Barbarians, the Black Plague, Jews, Ottomans, and Turks. Some of these were real threats...some were not. But it didn’t matter. What mattered was the fear. Beyond all of the flag waving and goose stepping...a core aspect of nationalism is to actually have an enemy. How can any government define itself as good or right if there is no measure with which to compare it with bad or wrong? We (and by we...I mean our government) needs a boogyman. Without one, how could any government justify spending more on defense than the five other largest militaries in the world combined. Meet the new boogeyman In the last few months we have heard more and more about the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria also know as ISIS or ISIL (depending on who you ask). Through a concerted effort in the media and the US Government, warnings have come recently that America is in danger from this extremist group. On Sept. 14, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham S.C. (R) warned that we must act now
before they come over here and kill us ALL. While there is no doubt that ISIS is a real threat to those living in the desert wasteland that is eastern Iraq and western Syria, is ISIS really a threat to us here in the United States? And are they capable of killing all of us? The short answer to this, of course, is No. The ISIS threat is similar to the Al Qaeda threat in that they lack the means to carry out anything but limited terrorist attacks against U.S. targets. The ISIS threat is a far cry from the well armed and well trained Russian army we faced off against in the Cold War or even the German or Japanese armies we fought in WWII more than 60 years ago. In fact, this Foe would love to be as well funded, armed and organized as the Nazis your grandfather helped trounce in the 1940s. But they are not. These guys are a bunch of poorly educated misfits operating out of pick-up trucks with small arms, no air force and no navy. It is hard to even compare them to the other enemies we have ever faced because all of our other enemies have been stronger, better organized and better armed. The entire ISIS army, if they had the means to get here, would have trouble taking an area of the United States as small as McNairy County. Before his death, Osama Bin Laden himself admitted that his true goal in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks was to draw the United States Army into Iraq because there was no other means available for Al Qaeda to get close enough to American military targets to hurt us. So, when will I be worried about ISIS? If you are like me, you have enough to worry about to think about this nonsense. I will start to worry about ISIS when their army is north of Corinth, Miss. on Highway 45
marching directly north into our county. And since this will not happen...please don’t worry. Should we worry about Terrorism? Despite what demagogs like Graham might say, you should now know by this point in the article, that ISIS will not (and can not) come her and kill everyone. That is impossible. As always, the possibility of a small scale terrorist attack somewhere in our nation is possible, but it is extremely unlikely. Over the last several decades, the overall odds of any American dying in a terror attack (domestic or foreign) are about 20 million to one. You are 106 times more likely to die by lightning than in a terror attack. So why is everyone in Washington telling you to be afraid of something that is 106 times less likely to kill you than lightning, or for that matter why isn’t President Obama coming on the television to warn us about the evils of lightning? Remember the boogyman...Our leaders know that we will not allow them to spend another $1 trillion and suspend most of the Bill of Rights to battle lightning, but if we are afraid enough, they know that American voters will allow them to do anything they like. This article is the opinion of the writer and does not necessarily reflect the views of the staff or ownership of the Independent Appeal. About the author: In addition to his current position as the editor of the Independent Appeal, Coulon served as a U.S. Army Public Affairs Specialist from 1999-2003 with combat deployments in Kuwait, where he served as the editor of the Desert Voice Magazine, and in Kosovo, where he served as a correspondent for the Fort Campbell Courier.

NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) urges motorists to exercise caution on the roadways this time of year due to deermating and hunting season. Last year, two people were killed in traffic crashes involving deer on state roadways. “The fall season is the most active time of year for deer-related crashes. We want to remind drivers to watch out for deer on or around the roadways, especially at dawn or after sunset,” Colonel Tracy Trott said. Motorists are also encouraged to dial *THP (*847) from an available cell phone for assistance in the event of a deer-related crash. The call will be connected to the nearest THP Communications Center and the next available state trooper will be
dispatched to the location. In Tennessee, there were 6,135 deer-related crashes in 2013. That’s an increase of 3.2 percent from the 5,947 crashes involving deer the previous year. Last year’s deerrelated traffic incidents, included, 5,853 property damage crashes, 280 wrecks with injury, and two vehicular fatalities. The THP also reports that between 2009 and 2013, 8.9 percent of deerrelated crashes occurred on interstate highways. Deer-related crashes in Tennessee have steadily increased by 15.3 percent since 2009. According to State Farm®, the nation’s leading auto insurer, there have been an estimated 1.25 million collisions between deer and vehicles in the U.S. between July

1, 2013 and June 30, 2014. That’s an almost three percent increase from a year ago. The Tennessee Highway Patrol and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) suggest the following tips to help prevent deer-related crashes during peak mating and hunting seasons: Remember that mating season puts deer on the move and deer tend to move at dawn and dusk). • Whenever you see deer cross the road, expect more to follow. Many times, the second or third deer crossing becomes the one that motorists hit. • Be attentive; drive defensively, constantly scanning the roadside, especially at daybreak and dusk. • Do not swerve to avoid contact with deer.

This could cause the vehicle to flip or veer into oncoming traffic, causing a more serious crash. Swerving also can confuse the deer as to where to run. • When you spot a deer, slow down immediately. Proceed slowly until you pass that point. • If you do collide with a deer, never approach the injured animal. They are powerful and can cause bodily harm to a human. Report any deer collision, even if the damage is minor. Tennessee law allows deer killed in a collision to be taken and used as food, as long as you contact the nearest TWRA regional office to report the accident within 48 hours.

THP encourages traffic safety this Halloween NASHVILLE --- Four people were killed in traffic crashes in Tennessee during last year’s Halloween period between midnight, October 31 through 11:59 p.m., November 1, compared to three traffic deaths during the same time in 2012. That’s why the Tennessee Highway Patrol is urging all motorists to drive cautiously, buckle up and don’t drink and drive this Halloween. “We have planned for increased patrols and will conduct a variety of enforcement plans to help ensure a safe Halloween for citizens across the state,” Colonel Tracy Trott said. “Drunk or distracted driving will not be tolerated and state troopers will aggressively seek out violators. The failure to wear seat belts is also unacceptable – it’s the law,” he added. Three of the four vehicu-
lar fatalities during last year’s Halloween period were unrestrained vehicle occupants and one traffic death was alcohol-related. Last year, state troopers issued 240 speeding citations and arrested 51 individuals on suspicion of drunk driving in Tennessee on October 31. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from 2008-2012 (the latest data available), almost half (51%) of all crash fatalities on Halloween night involved a drunk driver or motorcycle operator. In 2012, 19 percent of the fatal pedestrian crashes on Halloween involved drunk drivers. In Tennessee, the preliminary number of alcoholrelated traffic fatalities has decreased 25 percent from January 1, 2014 to October 27, 2014, compared to that
same time last year. So far in 2014, there have been 166 alcohol-related vehicular fatalities. That is 41 fewer than the 207 traffic fatalities involving alcohol during those same dates in 2013. As of October 27, there have been 68 pedestrian fatalities in Tennessee in 2014. That’s two more pedestrian deaths compared to this same time last year. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimate children are four times as likely to be struck by a vehicle on Halloween as any other day. THP personnel will conduct saturation patrols, sobriety and seat belt checkpoints, as well as bar and tavern checks this holiday period. Listed are some tips parents, children and motorists should keep in mind before heading out this Halloween.
New app puts power to help save lives in hands of blood donors By Lindsay English American Red Cross
A new Red Cross Blood Donor App offers features that make it simple, convenient and even more rewarding to give blood The American Red Cross is launching a first-of-its kind Blood Donor App today that puts the power to save lives in the palm of your hand. The Blood Donor App allows users to schedule blood donations, track their total donations, earn rewards and invite friends to join them on a lifesaving team. The new app is free and available for download now in app stores. “The Red Cross Blood Donor App is a new way to help meet the constant need for blood,” said Tim Ryerson, CEO for the River Valley Blood Services Region. “The app makes it easier, faster and more convenient for users to schedule and manage their donation appointments, track the lifetime impact of their donations, and recruit friends and family to roll up a sleeve with them.” As the nation’s single largest supplier of blood and blood products, the Red Cross is uniquely positioned to bring this cutting edge technology to blood and platelet donors. In addition to scheduling and managing blood donation appointments, other features of the app include: A blood drive or blood donation locator; The ability to sync a blood donation appointment with the user’s calendar; Personalized “selfies” donors can use as they share their donation experience through social media; Special badges donors can unlock as they interact with the app, make donations and spread the word; A chance for donors to come together to form teams, tracking their cumulative impact and viewing standings on the Blood Donor Teams Leaderboard; Exclusive offers and discounts from some of America’s best brands, including Shari’s Berries, ProFlowers and 1A Auto,
with new rewards added regularly; and Uplifting donor and blood recipient stories that show the power of rolling up a sleeve to help save lives. The Red Cross has become a leader in putting vital safety information in the hands of people who need it during emergencies, with its award-winning disaster and preparedness apps downloaded more than 5 million times over the past two years. The new Blood Donor App takes it one step further by helping people save lives through blood donations. The Blood Donor App, along with the others, can be found in app stores by searching for American Red Cross, visiting redcross.org/apps or redcrossblood. org/bloodapp, or by texting BLOODAPP to 90999 for a direct link to download. Message and data rates for texting may apply. Eligible blood donors do not need a smartphone to schedule an appointment to give blood. Appointments can always be made by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) or by visiting redcrossblood.org. How to donate blood A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

Tips for Motorists
SAFETY TIPS
• Slow down. Watch for children walking on roads, medians and curbs. • Be extra alert when pulling in and out of driveways. • Be especially alert for children darting out from between parked vehicles and from behind bushes and shrubs. They’re excited and may not be paying attention. • Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway. They could be dropping off children. • If you are driving to a Halloween party, put your mask on after you park the car. • Never drink and drive – tonight or any night.

Tips for Parents • Adults should accompany children at all times and supervise their “trick or treat” activities. • Teach children to “stop, look left-right-left, and listen” before they cross the street. • Instruct children to stay on sidewalks and to cross only at corners or crosswalks. • Use a flashlight and wear retro-reflective strips or patches on your clothing or costume to be more visible to motorists. • Be certain that the mask does not obstruct vision or hearing. • Ensure that costumes do not impede walking or driving ability.
Tips for Pedestrians (children and adults) • Require children to wear retro-reflective materials and carry a flashlight at dawn and dusk and in other low-light situations, such as rainy or foggy weather. • Before crossing a street, stop at the curb or edge of the road and look left, right and left again to be sure no cars are coming. Continue to check for traffic while on the street. • Walk – never run – from house to house or across the road. • Cross the street only at intersections and crosswalks. • When crossing at an intersection with a traffic light, be sure to watch for turning cars. Obey all pedestrian signals. • Walk on sidewalks whenever possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the street facing traffic.

Styles and Profiles Beauty College celebrates 24 years If you’ve ever gotten your hair done in or around Selmer in the past 24 years, there’s a good chance that Styles and Profiles Beauty College had something to do with it. Regina Jackson, Owner of Styles and Profiles Beauty College, is proud to announce that the school celebrated its 24th year on October 3, 2014. She boasts of successful graduates who practice the art of Cosmetology in Selmer, Jackson, Savannah, Bethel Springs, Henderson, Corinth, Middleton, Bolivar and many more towns. After 24 years in the business, SPBC is still conducting Cosmetology instruction under the direction of Jackson, who has taken up her mother’s dream of sharing the rewarding cosmetology profession with as many as possible. The late Phoebe Prather opened the college’s doors on October 3, 1990, and Jackson is still following her mother’s dream. “My mother was in this career for 52 years when she passed away, and was very known by many,” Jackson said. “It’s a career that always treated her well. She loved it and wanted to pass that love to others.” Jackson is the oldest of three children, and the only one to practice in the profession. Following her mother’s death on October 22, 2008, Jackson became the sole owner of the school. Passing on her mother’s love for the profesStaff Photo by Melissa Burgess sion of cosmetology and manicuring to all genRegina Jackson, owner/instructor, gives a demonstration on a client while erations has been Jackson’s mission.

During his time in school, the McNairy County native also studied under the direction of Frankie Congiardo as a member of the award-winning Adamsville High School Band from 2004-2010. Locally, he has served in music ministry positions in McNairy and Chester counties. He presently serves as the music ministry intern at First Baptist Church in Selmer. A faithful member of Arts in McNairy, Brasher has been involved in AiM productions and events since 2008. He has appeared on the stage in shows such as A Christmas Carol (Young Scrooge), Starmites (Dazzle), Bye Bye Birdie (Harvey Johnson), and Into the Woods (Jack). He has also contributed musically
as a member of the Arts in McNairy Holiday Singers and the orchestra conductor for the 2013 production of South Pacific. At Union, Brasher has been involved with University Singers, the acclaimed choir that performed a concert tour of Ireland last spring. He is also a member of the Men’s Choir, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, and the Union University Players, the theatre group with whom he will return to the stage next spring for the music/theatre departments’ joint production of Into the Woods. Brasher also teaches piano and accompanies the children’s choir at the Union University Community Music Center. Brasher is a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and the Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society. He is wrapping up his term as Speaker of the House for the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature and will graduate with a Bachelor’s of Music in Music Education in May 2015.

Jackson Christian barely escapes Bobcats By Drew Wheeler Staff Writer
Last Friday night, the McNairy Central Bobcats celebrated their 2014 Senior Night, but were sadly beaten in a close matchup by the Jackson Christian Eagles. However, the Bobcats now move into the final game of the season, with their last district contest to be played against Eagles of a different feather from Chester County. If McNairy Central and Coach Chad Hodge can propel themselves to a Halloween night victory, they will be District Champions, and as such will be granted a State Playoff berth. McNairy Central 6 Jackson Christian 7 Jackson Christian won the coin toss after the Senior Night festivities subsided and elected to receive the ball to start the game. Kicker Parker Wheeler drilled the opening kickoff to the Eagles end zone for a touchback. McNairy Central took the field on defense and began to battle
against the well-oiled Eagle offense. Jackson Christian’s sophomore quarterback Will Buehler connected with his receivers well in the contest, and his offensive line only allowed him to be touched by the Bobcats three times for a loss of only eight yards. Despite a scrappy Bobcat defense, the Eagles were the first to strike paydirt in the first quarter with a sweeping run to right side. The extra point attempt was good as the scoreboard read 0-7. Following the onside kick attempt from Eagles kicker Christian Williams, Bobcat quarterback Peyton McMahan lead his team onto the field for their first offensive excursion at about midfield. The home crowd was hot for their Cats on Senior Night, and the boys in blue responded in kind with two big first downs, a run from Kintevious “TaTa” Newsom, the other a catch from Will Wallace to move down the field. Everyone in Don Whitaker Memorial Stadium stopped in hushed silence after quarterback Peyton McMahan took a rough hit around the Eagles’ 20 yard line. McMahan took a moment, then rose to his feet as Coach Hodge used a timeout to reconfigure the offensive attack. The timeout paid off for McNairy Central, as on the very next play, McMahan returned to his post and connected with junior Receiver Bryant James for the Bobcats touchdown. The Eagles defense didn’t take a play to breathe, how-

ever, and brought the pressure to the Bobcats as kicker Parker Wheeler’s extra point attempt slid just left of the goalpost to bring the score to 6-7. The two teams, very evenly matched on all sides of the ball, battled until halftime with the score frozen at 6-7 in favor of the visiting Eagles. The Bobcat defense came onto the field with swagger after the half, not allowing the Eagles’ offense to score again in their stadium. Sadly for the Bobcat faithful, the Eagles’ defense didn’t allow another point to be scored, either, which left the final score for the game at 6-7. “We played well again on defense this past Friday, giving ourselves a chance to win.” Coach Hodge said of his team. “We didn’t seem focused or hungry on offense and the result showed with only 6 points on the board.” Again, though, the Bobcats are far from done with this season. In what could be the second biggest and most-pressuring game of their season, McNairy Central will travel to Chester County to do battle with the Eagles with not only their claim to be District Champions on the line, but a trip to the State Playoffs hanging in the balance, as well. Coach Chad Hodge also commented on the coming week’s game, saying “Chester County has a good football team that feels good about themselves.” The Eagles of Chester County have had a terrific season, featuring losses only to Adamsville and USJ and an overall record of 7-2, and will be a difficult game as well as a great test for the young, resurgent Bobcat team. “We have a chance to go out and be called district champs with a win next Friday.” Hodge said. “Sure, we would share the title, but it is what it is. The boys have to go get it, though, because Chester County isn’t just going to hand it to us.” The highly-anticipated matchup between McNairy Central and Chester County is set for Halloween night at Chester County High School.

2014 NBA PREVIEW
GAME GUIDE • BREAKOUT PLAYERS • TOP CONTENDERS By Drew Wheeler Staff Writer

Memphis’ prized power forward Zach Randolph puts up the jumper in last season’s Western Conference Playoffs against Oklahoma City.
How is life under the rock? No, seriously. It isn’t often that I make such wild assumptions, but just in case someone reading this doesn’t know about the one biggest story heading into the 2014-15 NBA Season, prepare to have your mind blown. Never before has a city rejoiced in unison as Cleveland, Ohio did on July 11 of this year. Their chosen one, the player who brought the team out of a decade of disappointment, the man who, not only the media, but the city themselves had only four years prior turned their backs on was again THE fan favorite. That’s right, kiddos, King James has returned. LeBron isn’t the only big name to be added to the Cavalier’s lineup over the offseason, though. Joining James and 2011’s first overall Pick, the 22-year old Kyrie Irving was SET to be the first overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft, the highly-touted Canadian prospect from Kansas, Andrew Wiggins. Of course, what is set to be and what is are often separate things, and this is no different—the NBA was shaken to the core again as the Cavs completed a threeteam trade with the Philadelphia 76’ers and Minnesota Timberwolves which sent first round picks Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett to Minnesota for
the 26 year old Kevin Love, a constant threat for double-doubles and a consensus top-ten NBA player. You count correctly, reader – that’s the new “Big Three” in Cleveland. The resurgent Cavaliers won’t be in for an easy jaunt to the Finals, though. Big-time match-ups including a Nov. 19 game pitting Cleveland against the defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs, and a Christmas Day fixture that sets King James and the crew against his former team – the new “Big Three” of the Miami Heat – Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and Luol Deng. The odds in Vegas are favoring Cleveland to win the NBA Title, and the pressure for victory is certainly on such a loaded team, but as early in the season as Halloween night, the Cavaliers will face another re-tooled team in

The Bulls, who were undoubtedly the biggest victors of the break-up of one of the NBA’s most long tenured and successful franchises, the Los Angeles Lakers, will add Pau Gasol, the 34 year old power forward/center to an already stacked lineup. The Bulls now feature Gasol, an experienced set of guards in newly signed Aaron Brooks and re-signed “Captain Kirk” Hinrich, two-time National Champion and former Florida Gator Joakim Noah at center, and the “need-to-feed” but feeble-kneed Derrick Rose. Rose, the first overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft and the league’s youngest MVP ever, tore

Hooked on Kids First “Advancing the sport of bass fishing today with the adults of tomorrow” By Janet Rail
trip for the child who wins the Sportsmanship Award annually. “I have been fishing for a living for 27 years and now primarily work as a guide at Pickwick Lake. I fish an average of 250 days a year. I love to see people enjoy themselves and love to see someone catch a fish. It is about all I have ever done. My mother used to say if she could keep me in the woods or on the water it would keep me out of trouble. My earliest memory of fishing is when I was about five years old. I love to introduce kids to fishing,” said Stegall. For twelve year old Jaxon Sullivan of Reagan, Tenn., he has already been in so many tournaments that he can’t remember them all. At the age of six he entered his first tournament and feels that fishing is a great way to connect to nature. “It is a good way to stay out of trouble and you learn a great skill. Fishing does not burn up the worlds energy, you stay off your phone and connect with family that you rarely see. You can enjoy doing what you love and have fun doing it. In fact, there are so many reasons I love fishing and many I haven’t even discovered yet,” said Sullivan, who won the Sportsmanship Award this year. Fisher Holmes, a ten year old from Lexington, said he loves to fish with his favorite fishing partner, his father. Holmes won the Citizenship Award for the year. Fawn Wilson and her two daughters Cianna, 8, and Bailey, 10, of Linden, Tenn. were the first mother daughter team in the history of the tournament. The girls had a great time and plan to enter every tournament next year. Twelve year old Tyler Hughes, son of founder, Keith Hughes, would like to get more kids from McNairy County involved. “My dad and I took a kid from church and taught him how to fish. I started fishing when I was about four and I like catching fish. I fish with my grandfather and father and have learned more than I thought I would with Kids First. I want everyone to know they are welcome next year.” If you or your child are interested in more information, visit www.kidsfirstfishing.com, or call Keith Hughes at 731-610-7382, or Heath Bookout at 901-486-5441. As they say on the brochure, “There is no better investment in tomorrow than spending time with your kids today.”

Sharing the love of fishing was the goal of two men four years ago when they founded Kids First. That is all it took for Keith Hughes and Tim Escue of Selmer to start an adult/junior bass tournament series held on Pickwick Lake. It was founded to give an opportunity for parents and their children to have a positive outlet to strengthen their relationship while promoting the sport of bass fishing. Originally, the two men wanted to develop a program for children that would teach them the love of fishing, sportsmanship and conservation geared toward children in the McNairy and Hardin County areas. However it soon grew to attract children and adults from Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and all over Tennessee. This tournament focuses on the kids to make them the priority. “This is the perfect tournament for all skill levels, from beginner to the expert fisherman. Kids First has children from five years of age to eighteen years old who are still enrolled in high school. This tournament, we had our first mother-daughter team competing. We hope to share our love of fishing and give children and an adult partner an opportunity to get out of their normal routines and bond with one another while teaching life lessons on the water. Some teams are composed of father and son while other avid fishermen introduce a child to the world of fishing. This is an opportunity to watch, coach and participate with children,” said Hughes. Kids First has eight low-cost tournaments annually from March to October, and just held their final tournament on October 18 with a dinner sponsored by Top O’ The River thereafter. Now in their fourth year, the tournament has over 18 sponsors. One of the major sponsors is Strike King Lure Company, of Collierville, Tenn., who for 40 years, has produced some of the highest quality fishing lures in the country. Allan Ranson, COO of Strike King, attended the banquet stating, “We love to support the kids. Hunters and fishermen are the most avid conversationalists we have and without programs like this, we would not have as many advocates. There is no better venue to have one-on-one teachable moments and get the kids away from electronics to discuss life lessons. There are wonderful people with Kids First that really care and are self sacrificing. We are happy to sponsor these tournaments and support this effort.” Noah Miller, a five year old from Moscow, Tenn., shared his love of fishing since the age of two. “I did really good in the tournament. My dad taught me how to fish and this is my second tournament. I love to fish and I would tell all boys and girls to fish.” Experienced fishermen like Roger Stegall, also attended the banquet and donates a half-day fishing

his left ACL in the first round of the 2011-12 playoffs and missed the entire 2012-13 campaign. His return to Chicago in 2013 was much-anticipated but short-lived. Rose tore his right meniscus on November 22, less than a month into the season. After successful surgery, Rose is set to lead the team into the 2014-15 season, but will this Rose’s thorn prick the Bulls yet again? The Bulls are certainly risking their championship hopes on the health of their stars, but the Vegas odds are certainly favoring Chicago as well. Another teams with a golden dream resides in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are sadly without their prized player – but only for a month. Kevin Durant, the man who many consider the best in the league, will miss the first month and a half of the season with a fractured right foot. However, the Thunder aren’t without leadership as All Star guard Russell Westbrooks will be leading the offense into battle for their first title. Another team on the prowl are the aforementioned defending champion Spurs. San Antonio’s “Core Four” of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli and Coach Gregg Poppovich certainly are rising in age, but they’re doing it in a very graceful way – like a fine wine. The four of them, all on the wrong side of 37, are joined by the dynamic Kawhi Leonard, a small forward who at the young age of 23 has already been named NBA Finals MVP and is set for nothing but growth and improvement. Other teams to watch include the Dallas Mavericks, who have assembled another all-star cast around centerpiece power forward Dirk Nowitzki. His fellow Mavs, guard Monta Ellis, center Tyson Chandler, and small forward Chandler Parsons look to follow Dirk’s lead on the court and score not only points, but a possible championship. Another group of contenders are the Los Angeles Clippers, lead by Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Coach Doc Rivers. Once the “second team” in LA, the Clippers have emerged from obscurity over the last decade to cement themselves as contenders to the throne with a very skilled, albeit very controversial team. Griffin, particularly, is never without his detractors in the home of another championship contender, the Memphis Grizzlies. You read right, friends, the FedEx Forum is never the place to find an easy game. The Grizz, who are known for their “Grit and Grind” mentality, show tremendous heart and fire on the defensive side of the ball behind the man named as the NBA’s toughest defender, Tony Allen. Not only a defensive team, the Grizzlies aren’t hibernating on the offensive side of the ball. Center Marc Gasol and Forward Zach “Z-Bo” Randolph are one of (if not THE) best big-man combination in the NBA, and are always a threat under the basket for points and the coined “Z-bounds” (offensive rebounds) that set Grizz Nation on fire. The supremely skilled guard Mike Conley will direct the offense at point guard again, and will be joined this year by the multiple-time All Star Vince Carter, veterans Tayshaun Prince, Beno Udrih and Courtney Lee in what could be a special team come playoff time. If you are a fan of the NBA, do not miss the chance to join “Bongo Lady,” “Super Grizz” and even our local “Grizz Granny” at the FedEx Forum for a chance to watch a playoff team in action. Looking to get in on the ground floor on the next potential superstars of the NBA? Look no further than Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans. Davis, 21, formerly of the Kentucky Wildcats, an unconventional looking choice for a superstar, will anchor the resurgent Pelicans team as a dual power forward/center threat. Will “The Brow” break out? The real question should not be if, but when. Another to watch is Milwaukee’s 19 year old Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 6’11, 205 pound small forward whose given name is a mouthful, but whose nickname (“The Greek Freak”) is not only accurate, but devilishly fun to scream as he slashes to the basket with ease. Others include Washington’s Bradley Beal, Detroit’s Andre Drummond, Golden State’s Klay Thompson, Denver’s “Manimal” Kenneth Faried, Tim Hardaway Jr. of the New York Knicks, and rookie guard Marcus Smart of Boston. The wait is over, fans. Last night, the season tipped off with the Mavericks battling the defending champion Spurs in a wild encounter. As the NBA themselves put it, “everybody up.” It’s time for basketball.

Coach Jerry Lott expressed his pride in the turn out saying, “We had a good effort despite playing on a soggy field.” Lott said. “Out defense did a good job of keeping the ball pushed up to our offense. This win puts us in the district semi-finals Tuesday against Lexington.”

Cost of Sports: “Gotta Pay to Play” By Amanda Lowrance Sports Writer
Sports takes more than determination and dedication, it takes money and lots of it. Who pays for this if the athlete isn’t old enough or does not have a source of income? Parents. How much money it takes depends on several factors such as the age of the athlete, the brand of equipment used, the accessories needed, personal expenses while away from home, and the list goes on. “As far as registration, sign up fees & outfits, no it’s all the same throughout the years,” said mother of two, Kimberly Willis Locke of Ramer, Tenn. Locke has been a parent of girls and boys sports throughout the age ranges. For a youngster starting out in the peewee leagues, the cost will not be equal to a high school athlete. “We get people in and out, but mainly sell individually to McNairy County athletes,” said Chris Lake, Head
Coach of Hibbetts Sports in Bolivar, Tenn. “The average cost per sport ranges from $150 to $200.” “As they get older, they personally want the biggest, baddest and most expensive,” said Locke. “And I don’t like that you pay $300 to rent a cheerleading outfit for the year. We should be able to keep them.” The equipment to play a particular sport such as cleats, pads, and other accessories found at local sporting goods stores doesn’t pay for all the expenses. “Then you can figure in season passes at $45 to get into these games and then there is concessions, Gatorades, sunflower seeds, bleacher seats, canopies and tents, so you don’t scorch playing in tournaments out in the sun all day, coolers, and the list goes on and on,” said Locke. “You would think I don’t like sports. I love it, but it can very well be expensive.” These parents support their athletes to the fullest wearing $20 team t-shirts, using personal gas money to

drive to games, renting hotel rooms, and participating in fundraisers. There is also the risk of getting injured in contact sports and spending thousands on medical treatment and recovery. According to Locke, as the sport intensity rises, so does the cost. “Personally, we spend the most on travel ball,” said Locke. “Travel ball start-up is $300 - buying a new bat included. Considering boys like to change their ounces and weight every year to guidelines.” Then there is the cost of travel ball tournament fees, driving within a 200 mile radius, and staying every other weekend. “Football would be next because of Nike sport pads to wear underneath, mouth guards, and gloves.” If you are talented or interested in sports, you have to pay to play. With the many different factors and scenarios, it is difficult to estimate a seasonal cost average of school sports.

AHS and MCHS students alike visit Caterpillar
Submitted Photo
On Monday, October 13, thirty-three McNairy County students spent the morning touring Caterpillar, Inc. in Corinth, MS and learning from a talented team of individuals about the diverse career choices available to them. The disciplines include engineering, operations, logistics, technical marketing, supply chain and a host of corporate services such as Information Technology and Human Resources. A group of Adamsville High School and McNairy Central High School juniors and seniors were given a personal tour conducted by knowledgeable and passionate professionals who explained the need for all types of employees, from making a sale, making a business proposal, making a patent to making a machine. By understanding the skills and competencies needed for employment, career/technical education students will be better prepared to enter the workforce after graduation.

Students in Delana Hessing’s eighth grade science enrichment class has been learning about engineering while completing unique projects. They have used marshmallows and spaghetti to build towers that had to support an egg for 30 seconds. They created boats out of aluminum foil that carried pennies while floating, and they used paper and tape to build bridges. Students have participated in helicopter labs and parachute experiments. The students most recently designed gliders using straws, paper, and tape. The process begins with researching the most effective methods and then moves to experimentation with building a model that actually flies the best. The activity culminated with a contest to see whose glider could fly the greatest distance. “Students love these activities because they enjoy the real-life aspect. It makes them believe that someday they may be able to become an engineer or even invent something to make the world a better place in the future,” Hessing commented after the completion of the projects.

In an effort to accelerate the learning of our students, BSES has added time to the daily schedule to work with our children in a small group environment. Students work with skilled professionals to improve their deficit areas of reading and math. During these small group sessions, student’s skills are reinforced by using many different activities, manipulatives, and hands on techniques. Pictured above is a first grade intervention group. Students are writing their numbers in shaving cream. Michael Hicks, Ricky Kennedy, Chloe Arnold, and others are having fun while reinforcing number identification, quantity discrimination, and missing numbers.

Red Ribbon Air Evac lands at AHS Week 2014 (No worries, only for learning) Win $1,000 for your school and an iPad By Erin Williams Submitted Article
Calling all schools and families across America… there’s still time to be part of the annual Red Ribbon Photo Contest, which comes with the chance to win an iPad and $1,000 for your K-12 school of choice. But hurry, the deadline to enter is Nov. 4. As the nation celebrates the 29th Annual Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 23-31, the National Family Partnership (NFP) is urging students, families and schools to take part in its Red Ribbon Photo Contest, which promotes drug awareness and prevention among youth. “This contest is a great way for families and schools to deliver the ‘Love Yourself. Be Drug Free.’ message,” said NFP President Peggy Sapp. “By uniting and involving families, schools and communities, we can be more effective in helping our children make smart decisions and grow up safe, healthy and drug free.” Ten families across America will be selected to win the grand prize: an iPad and $1,000 donation to a K-12 school of their choosing. There will also be one prize awarded for a school decoration. Here’s how simple it is to enter: Students and families decorate their home’s front door, mailbox or fence with a double-looped red ribbon and the theme, “Love Yourself. Be Drug Free.” Schools may decorate any part of their campus. Take a photo with your decoration and upload it to www.RedRibbon.org/enter now through Nov. 4. You must be 18 years or older to upload the photo and can do so from any desktop or mobile device. Ask family and friends to vote for your entry beginning Nov. 5. Eleven winners will be announced Dec. 5. To learn more about contest rules, visit www.RedRibbon.org.
UT Martin continues Top-Tier Ranking
By Amy Reid AHS Campus Reporter
The students from Adamsville High School’s medical terminology class had a visit from the AirEvac helicopter, but luckily no injuries were involved. Instead, a pair of flight nurses came to tell Jana Moore’s students about their careers and the equipment they use.
